Fishing in ARR

Yeah, I'd sink my money into a sailboat so fast the economy would feel it for years.

XD Ditto!
I'd like to name my tiny boat the "Super Go-Go Buster"

A bunch of my friends have been reassuring me, saying that no Japanese developer would ever put in a system like this, no game developer would put in a system like this due to how easy it would be to bot, that "actions" probably refers to gathering skills, that the combination of knowing what rod and what bait to use will be the complexity, but I'm still really worried. I'd love to have a dev response in here instead of having to wait till bloody april to get my answer.

Sad thing is, if the information from the Massively article is true then fish won't have any economic bearing and it won't matter if people botted or not.

I guess we'll just have to "Please look forward to it" and see how things pan out.

And for all the people who say how random fishing was in 1.0, I have a spreadsheet that says otherwise. (or you could just look on mooglebox)

I want lazy EZ mode fishing. Seriously, I wanna put my feet up and be able to play with mouse only. Click water and profit.

This information really makes me a sad about the direction fishing is going. There could be so many awesome opportunities with fishing and gathering in general that can make it so much more exciting yet I think they don't have a focus on it at all, everything is going towards battle classes.

I understand this completely. Although their intentions towards fishing were somewhat vague, I'm not so sure they would cheapen it so much as to make it too easy. At least I really hope not. Waiting around for phase 3 to test it out is going to be torturous though.

Exactly. We didn't like your smelly trees, but now that fishing might be going, we're all going to be following you around and stealing them!
